Fortunately the x-rays were negative for fractures. Garnett is scheduled for an MRI today in Boston.
"I don't think it's
bad," said Rivers. "I'm not that concerned. He's going to miss games
probably -- I don't know how many -- but I don't think it'll be that long.
Listen, it happens."
Like his players, Rivers did
think the worst when the injury first occurred. It now appears it might simply
be his right calf that's the trouble spot with the team stressing it's a lower
leg ailment, but not the ankle or the knee.
"The way he did it, I
thought the knee or Achilles," said Rivers. "You've heard me say it
before, an injury when no one is around, that's usually a severe one. I was
thinking it was a bad one, but let's hope not. I don't think it is, but we'll
find out later."
